Our results show that, under mild conditions on the family of kernels used for learning, solving several related tasks simultaneously is beneficial over single task learning. In particular, as the number of observed tasks grows, assuming that in the considered family of kernels there exists one that yields low approximation error on all tasks, the overhead associated with learning such a kernel vanishes and the complexity converges to that of learning when this good kernel is given to the learner."}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.06531","open_access":"1"}],"publication_status":"published","date_published":"2015-01-01T00:00:00Z","year":"2015","intvolume":"      9355","publist_id":"5430","volume":9355,"project":[{"grant_number":"308036","name":"Lifelong Learning of Visual Scene Understanding","_id":"2532554C-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FP7"}],"page":"194 - 208","doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-24486-0_13","author":[{"first_name":"Anastasia","last_name":"Pentina","full_name":"Pentina, Anastasia","id":"42E87FC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Ben David, Shai","last_name":"Ben David","first_name":"Shai"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"1706","ec_funded":1,"conference":{"end_date":"2015-10-06","location":"Banff, AB, Canada","start_date":"2015-10-04","name":"ALT: Algorithmic Learning Theory"},"citation":{"apa":"Pentina, A., &#38; Ben David, S.
